RACING FULL OF SURPRISES
THE LAST DAY AT sHEEpsHEAD BAY.


Every part of the handsome grounds all astr with
spectators who babe goodby to the racing for
this year at this attractive spot with much regret
They had afternoon OF pleasant, and at times ex-
citing sport, and all were animated with tho true
holiday spirit. Most OF them lost such sums as they
vcntured to risk on tho horses for public form was
shattered In every race, and the expectations Of we'll
informed turfmen disappointed. Most amaz-
ing Of all tho upsets the dlsgraceful defeat OF
Stuyvesant, who looked well he looked when
no the track but no better than selling
platter at clifton and came homo far In the rear
OF the whole field In the Challenge Stakes that some
people failed to him arrive at all, and when the
great majority Of racegoers had left the track these
bewidered gazers still rubbing their eyes, were
stil peerng with dazcd uncertain looks over every
part Of tho course, and stll inqulrng ENORMOUSLY
of tho hurrying passerby, Say mister, has that zero
boss OF Captng Browns, that bet five dollars on,
got in yet7'
But even although all five of the favortcs brought
sorrow to their friends, still the multitude present took
their rcverses with unaling good humor, never lost
interest I'm tho dolngs of the beasts good bad and
Indifferent, that capered crawcd before them, and
went homo in high spirits ready to pick their Hints
aiA try again.
The leading jockeys, Mclaughlin and Garrison had
a clear score Of failures Mclaughlin rode Burch,
Rallston and EIkwood TALL favortesD, but not one OF
the three was first second Garrison had single
mount, that Stuyvesant the outcome OF which was
not encouraging to any stable to engage him In any
other race. Isaac Murphy rode one winner ("ahoo
In the heats) DonOhue rode one Badge In the Autumn
Selling Sakes shauer one Qlchmond In the first racer
Williams won on F1ageoletta, who the Challenge
stakes: and Martin Lelex In the last race
So the five fell to vo different jocheys-a rather
uncommon thing. Garrison, however, hao a prohuiDic
day. for he won So 900 by backing Richmond at long
odd, in the first race he lost only $1,000 OF this
ON his own mount, stuyvesant Tho score OF winning
mounts for the two chief jockeys remains unchanged
For Garrison, II; for Mclaughlin 49,
Tho meeting Just ended was highly prosperous.
Tho total rece pts S150,9i0 80. Five per cent
will go to the State under the Ives law, amounting
to $7,547 49,
Richmond ran in the first somewhat after the
fashion of last May when he among the best
handicap horses. Burch in the leading line al
the head of the homcsrctch, but failed to stay through
the final furlong. Richmond was In the hrst sA
all tho way and showed form vastly superior to inc
wretchcd work he dong all the summer. This
horse both when he In the Dwyer stable ana
now has Two or three spells" running In the course
az season and when the fit Is him al these times
lie travels rapidly. For the rest OF the year ne can
not on run a coniemplatve clam That's the reason
the Dwycrs sold him. Another Virgil COLT hlhsi'h,
